THE PILE DRIVERS ADVANCING.
From Mr.. W. P. Wren, who has just re-
turned from Fort Benton, We learn that
the advance guard Of the pile driving force
is now several miles on this side of Fort
Benton and moving along rapidly. There
is comparatively little work for them un
til they reach Bulls Head, but from the
latter point on they will find plenty of
trestle work and will make much slower
progress.
SOME FAST DRIVING.
Mr.. Wren informs that he left this city
Saturday evening in company with George
B. Jones, the contractor, the latter driving
his own team, and that they arrived at
Benton in four hours and twenty minutes,
ten miles an hour for the distance. Next
morning Mr.. Jones proceeded down the
track and was back in Benton Monday
morning, leaving at once for this place
and arriving at 11:30 a. m., travelling
175 miles. He changed horses once or
twice.
NOTES OF THE RAIL.
The end of the track will reach Fort
Benton depot o-morrow evening or Thurs
day morning. The celebration will be on
the latter date and parties from Great Falls
who wish to participate should leave to-
morrow.

GENERAL MANAGER SHELBY.

The newspapers speak in the highest
terms of Gen. Shelby, the newly appointed
general manager of the Montana Central.
The Chicago Tribune aliudes to the ap-
continent as follows: "Mr. 2. P. Shelby,
formerly assistant general freight agent
of the Uuion Pacific, has been appointed
general manager Of the new Montana line
of the ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba.
1t is stated that Mr.. Shelby will receive a
salary of $4,000 year. This appointment
indicates the intention and determination
of the Manitoba railroad people to give
the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
quite lively tussel fer the Montana
traffic. Mr.. Shelby's long connection with
the Union Pacific and his great experience
in far western traffic affairs peculiarly
qualify him for the new position.
The Butte Inter Mouatoan regards the
appointment as an one excellent and adds:
although Shelby was identified to an
extent with the Vining crowd of Union
Pacific extortionists, he had no sympathy
with their methods After Vining left the
Union Paclfic Shelby did what he could
TO reduce rtas and promote the develop
ment of the western territories. The ad-
vent of Thomas j Potter was the signal
for Shelby's exit It early became evident
that they could not agree. The Montana
Central, preceiving the advantage of hav-
ing a traffic manager familiar with Union
Pacific methods, secured Mr. Shelby, and
the Montana public will soon have an OPP
portunity of putting to the test his pro-
LESSONS of friendship towards western
interests"

OPENING THE ccA. MINES.

From Mr. Paris Gibson We learned that
the coal mines OF the Montana Central
company will be opened and operated on II
very extensive scale this fall. Presidents
Hill of the Manitoba and BroadWater of
the Montana Central will be here
about the 10th of October, on the compile
ton of the former line, and will personally
determine the manner in which this work
is to be done. An extensive market for
this coal is already guaranteed, apars
from the immense quantity to be daily
used for steam purposes on the Manitoba
and Montana Central, and the mines must
be worked on most extensive scale to
supply this demand. The writer was
recently informed by Col. Broadwater
that 500 men would be employed in Sand
Coulee befole the snow flies in developing
and working the coal measures. and it
looks now as if this statement would soon
be verified.

Shelby.

w. P. Watson, the we'll known Montana
Central engineer, has established his
headquarters at Great Falls and will have
general charge of the surveys, grading
and construction of the Central branch to
the Sand CouIee coal fields. In response
to an inquiry from TRIBUNE represen-
tative today Mr.. Watson said the
WORK WOULD BEGIN AT ONCE
and be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. The route is already surveyed
and the line located, except IA small por-
ton in the upper end, and that will be
done Immediately.
SIS the contract for the building of this
branch le,?" inquired the reporter.
"The contract is let and as soon as right
of way is secured and other preliminaries
arranged
WORK ON THE GRADE
will commence and it will not take long
to complete it. The line is about fifteen
miles in length. | am now engaged in
securing right of way, and in cases where
the proper compens; ton can not be agreed
upon this week, we will have the lands
condemned and appraised in the usual
way, SO that the work cannot be delayed
on this account"
"How soon do you think will dirt begin
to f1y on this braneh?"
81 would say within two weeks, although
it may be few days later or earlier. The
iron will not be laid until the railroad
bridge across the Missouri is constructed
and imagine that is a matter that will
not occasion much delay
Mr.. Watson has secured suite of rooms
in the Phelps building over Churchill &
Wepster's store, aud for the next two OF
three months will have his office and
headquarters here. The work of com
pleting the survey will begin probably
Tomorrow.

REECHER IN POLITICS.
H. HI. Simmons Jussifies His Deser.
ton of the Republican Party.

Rev. II. NJ. Simmons, at the First Uni
tartan church, gave an address on Henry
Ward Beecher," and made lengthy and
detailed review OF his life and public SER
vices. On the point of his late political
change he said:
Shall we remember against Mr.. Beecher his
desertion of the Republican party? He had
helped TO make that party, and for long
years was ope OF its chief supporters, and if
he wanted to leave it he had right to. On
such sentiments too, ne had illustrious COM
pany in Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley and
Charles Francis Adams, and many Of the
men who founded that party and were long
foremost in it. And MIR. Beecher's course in
overlooking party liueS and forgiving that
South which he had been so Jealous to fight,
was fully consistent with his whole public
career, and in harmony with the first principle
of his life Fight when you must. but for
give when the fight is over.was his principle;
and Immediately after the surrender of Rich
moud he urged general amnesty. He
preached the pardon Of Jefferson Davis, and
protested against any further punishment Of
rebels or contiscation Of their property. This
principle has shaped all of his political acts
since. And does il not strike deeper truth
and lead to better results than partisanship?
In contrast to the bitterness
which partisanship engenders, ia Ike
the scene when Mr.. Beecher, five
y
since the war. Curiosity brought large
audience, containing several rebel generals,
ald Fitz Hugh Lee among them. No APP
plause welcomed the orator, and some Kisses
were heard. Mr.. Beecher calmly surv eyed
the audience moment, then said to Gen. Lee:
II want to offer you this right hand which,
in its own way. fought against you and yours
twenty-five years ago, but which l would now
willingly sacrifice to make the Sunny South
prosperous and happy. Will you take it,
the audience, Gen. Lee stepped to the front
and before their hands were unclasped there
sembly as the old hall had never known be-
fore. The wound was healed and this aboli-
zionist orator, who had done more than
almost any other man to bring the war to
desolate Virginia, was cheered again and
shouts OF the men who would have been glad
TO mob him had he come merely as a Repub-
lican. That one act was worth more to restore
harmony in Virginia than all the cannon that
congress could send. The principle Of peace
and good will was his political plat.
form. and is the right one, cal
it Mugwump Or what you will
The same principle explains and excuses also
religious errors. That theory of his, that in
eternity, which made those Chicago ministers
think it their pious duty to insult his mourn
ing wife, comes logically from his belief tina
men ought to forgive and that God is proba
bly, no worse than men are.

ALL SORTS.

1t is generally believed that a cliquesof
real good people, headed by the great religi-
Gus weekly. the Tribune, would like to see
the police commission made up as follows
Republicans, Hon. Scrap Iron Bill and Hon.
Hypp o. Crit; Democrats, Judge N. r..
Houser and Judge Isaac Atwater. R. e.
Form would then of course be member ex-
Officlo. II
Tonight will tell whether the Republics
members of council will vote as they think
best, or whether they will be dashed into their
places by penny-a-liner in the Tribune.
In this great political uncertainty the board
Of trade will miss the supreme moment of its
life if it does not tackle and settle the police
commission question this morning. Remem-
Der, gentlemen, that 'every event that man
would master must be mounted on the run,

lutionized mems ideas of the scope of the
pulpit and nature of preaching. He treated
every subject that affected the welfare OF So
ciety and of the individual political and educa-
tional as well as religious. He was thoroughly
modern. He drew his materials at first hand
from man and nature and the life that surged
about him in the cities. He lived in Brook
Ign and not in Judea. He dealt with the
needs of the men before him. He brought
religion down from the clouds of the dreamer,
clothed her in homespun and babe her go
forth with men and women everywhere, in
all their daily toll and business
While he was not theologian, no man has
more profoundly influenced theological
thought. He has liberalized the public senti-
ment of this country. "He is Il bridge" says
James Parton, ION which we are passing from
the creed-enslaved past to the perfect free
dom of the future" He rejected the old
theories of the fall and of inherited corr up
ton and of inspiration. He applied the
theory OF evolution to the divine work in
creation and in the human SOUL "There is
no miracle in conversions; it puts man ut
school," The atonement was not Il satiSfac-
ton of divine wrath but an exhibition OF di-
vine love. He will have no quarrels about
creeds, ordinances or any eXternals of reig-
ion. If men want them they may have them.
He will neither insist nor reject. He was q
man of the broadeSt SympathieS. He found
something in every man, however bigoted,
and in every sect. however narrow, to COM
mend. beware of religious faiths that sep
arate men,"
The central element in Mr.. Beecher's
reaching is his conception of the divine ma
ture; ''God is Love" Not that he denies
his justice, but justice must be controlled by
love. Not that he denies punishment here or
hereafter: but punishment must be di sci
plinary not vindictive. 1t must heal the
wounds sin has made, and not, like the vul-
lures that fed on the vitalS of PrometheuS,
keep tearing them open afresh forever. The
glory of God is his goodness, not his great
ness and power.
Even in reading Mr.. Beecher's sermons,
one can feel the throbbing of his mighty
heart. His personality is there. Through
these, 'being dead, he Will yet speak" to
multitudes. When the recollection of his
oratorical triumphs shall have faded into dim
traditions, through words that fairly burn
upon the printed page, he will continue to
stir the human pulses in generations yet to
come.
